Change a name in a user manual PDF
Manuals are long and change in small ways: a menu name, a version number, a support email. Fix those in the PDF and split the manual into chapters if people need only part of it. Update a person's or organisation's name wherever it appears, in the same typeface as before.

What people change in a user manual
- • Version and date on the cover
- • Step instructions
- • Menu and button names
- • Support contact details
- • Screenshots
What happens to the rest of the page
- • A longer name pushes the words after it along the line; right aligned names grow to the left.
- • Names often contain letters the PDF has not used yet, like Z, Q or accented letters. The complete font is loaded for them.
